G-D hires Rowley to coach

GROTON -- Phil Rowley, a former longtime assistant hockey coach at Billerica High, has been hired to replace Brian Payne as the head coach of the Groton-Dunstable boys hockey team.

Payne, who last season guided Groton-Dunstable to its first state hockey title, resigned suddenly a few days ago over what G-D athletic director Mike McCaffrey said was a disagreement with the school's administration over Payne's fundraising plans.

Payne told The Sun on Tuesday the disagreement went beyond fundraising to issues and involved the overall direction of the hockey program.
